Customer Reviews of Absolute Power (Widescreen Edition)
Missable, but definitely not bad. Luther Whitney (Clint Eastwood) was once a war hero, but a long time ago he turned to the bad side and became a jewel theif. A few days before his retirement, Luther decides to end his profitable career on a high note. Knowing he is away, Luther cautiously and slowly breaks into Walter Sullivan, who is a well-known billionaire. But after Luther finds out Walter has some daringly dark secrets, things go beyond his control.
Absolute Power has reasonably good acting, Clint Eastwood is impressive as usual, but Gene Hackman seems somewhat miscast. The script is clever and mostly intriguing, but not faultless. In places, Absolute Power is far too slow, and the fairly long running time makes you get a bit squeamish.
Overall, this film will definitely keep you entertained for a couple of hours, but don't expect it to be a totally memorable or brilliant experience on the box.
THIS TAKES A SWIPE AT CLINTON
"Absolute Power" had me thinking that somebody read my screenplay, "A Murderous Campaign", used my idea but gave me no credit. Maybe. "Absolute" is a Clint Eastwood picture, playing on the public perception that Bill Clinton might just be a murderer. However, the President bears no resemblance to Clinton.

Brilliant Thriller!!
In the dark times of the Clinton presidency of scandal and corruption ....this movie really hit home. I was amazed that Hollywood even let this movie slide by, considering their Leftist politics!
Gene Hackman plays a Clinton like President who cheats on his wife and biggest fund raising supporter,...with his chief of staff..seemingly resembling Hillary Clinton, who covers up for him...added to the dimension of realism to this movie. It almost resembles Tom Clancy's work with all the politics and secret service detail. Given the hilarious irony that a jewel thief/War hero (Clint Eastwood)had more honesty and character than this wife cheating President was even more funny!
This movie is one of Clint Eastwood's best...and is enjoyable no matter what party you are from.
